This is great. Anki looks amazing. The reason I don't use Anki, though, is that I feel like the things I wish I could remember are rarely things I would have had enough foresight to make a flashcard for. In other words, I rarely feel like I have a problem remembering things that I would have been wise enough to make a reminder about. The things I wish I could remember are things in books that I didn't even pay much attention to on a first reading. It's things that I wish I could see all the hidden connections to once I realize some new insight.
There are things I know I want to remember and there are things I realize I would have wanted to remember more clearly only after I have learned some fundamentally new way of viewing the world. The former Anki solves but they're rarely things I feel a problem with, and the latter is by definition things I wouldn't have paid enough attention to to write down in Anki.
